MY BIO
I possess 25 years of clinical practice providing direct nutrition-focused physical assessment, diagnosis, care and monitoring to individuals and disadvantaged groups, including prevention and management of multiple macronutrient (protein and energy malnutrition) and micronutrient (iron, zinc, calcium, vitamins A, B, C, D and E, iodine, selenium, copper) deficiencies, fluid and electrolyte imbalances, drug-nutrient and food-related interactions, behavior change management, and diverse health and diet related challenges. I observe patient care, advise on best evidence-based practices, and customize products and treatment protocols. I currently provide direction and priorities for clinical nutrition services, including identifying enablers, partnerships and infrastructure required to best meet the needs of patient and population healthcare.
